Massachusetts marijuana regulators decided against immediately moving forward this year with cannabis cafes and home delivery of the controversial substance.

Retail pot shops are still slated to open later this year.

The Cannabis Control Commission voted 4 to 1 on Monday to put off allowing home delivery and "social consumption" - basically consuming marijuana inside someplace other than a primary residence - and they agreed to look into issuing rules on those types of licenses next year.

Shaleen Title, the only member of the commission to publicly favor the marijuana legalization law passed by voters in November 2016, offered up the proposal to delay home delivery and "social consumption" in exchange for exclusivity on those future licenses for minorities, small businesses and farmers.

Home delivery of medical marijuana, which is under a separate structure, is still allowed.

Commissioners agreed to come up with a new timeline for "social consumption" and home delivery regulations. That includes collecting research and information on those types of licenses, re-starting conversations in October 2018 and considering allowing the exclusivity, and then issuing draft rules in February 2019.

Kay Doyle, a former state Department of Public Health official, was the sole commissioner to vote against the delay.

The move came after Gov. Charlie Baker, Attorney General Maura Healey and local prosecutors urged commissioners to take their time setting up the industry and initially limit themselves to focusing on the opening of retail pot shops.

"The pressure campaign conducted by the governor, attorney general and others proved difficult to overcome," Jim Borghesani, a spokesman for marijuana legalization advocates, said in an email.

"The larger issue is getting the application process up and running for the July sales start date. Additional delays would be an embarrassment for the state and a gift to black market dealers," he added.

Commissioners are working through draft rules for oversight of the new industry that is set to grow this year.

In November 2016, Massachusetts voters passed a law broadly legalizing recreational marijuana use for adults ages 21 and over.
